Plaintiff, a California prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action on January

16

11, 2018. On the same day, the clerk notified plaintiff that he must submit either the filing fee

17

or a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). Along with this notice, the

18

clerk mailed to plaintiff an IFP application, instructions, and a stamped return envelope. The

19

notice informed plaintiff that the case would be dismissed if he did not either pay the fee or file

20

the completed IFP application within 28 days. No response has been received. As more than 28

21

days have passed and plaintiff has not filed a completed IFP application, paid the filing fee,

22

shown cause why not, or requested an extension of time to do so, this case is DISMISSED

23

without prejudice.

24

The Clerk shall enter judgment and close the file.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
